the better half of me would agree with you and say that obama shouldn't let all his thoughts be known and should play the "i'm sorry but i can't answer that question" game, but the other part of me is saying who gives a shit. just like kanye he said what he really felt and who am i to take that away from him. he'll get better at giving "no comments" the longer he does this. aside from that what he said made me laugh and i thank him for that. it's a non issue. this whole thing is a non issue. if kanye west had went on his blog, or sent a tweet, or mentioned to one of the many paps outside the venue that taylor swift shouldn't have won, etc...i would have no problem. just like if joe wilson had instead waited till a press scrum or made his opinions known otherwise an elsewhere instead of right in the fucken middle of obama's speech because he was oh so overcome with emotions (rolling my eyes), and had said "the president lied/the pres is a liar/he is lying,"etc...and then even maybe backed up that positon with something substantial instead of saying "you lie" (like homer does on the simpsons. lol @tomforman picking that syntax up)and then sitting there without continuing because he gained some moment of clarity (i would have rather liked him to have made this into more of a spectacle)like a clam fish. everyone knows interruptions are unbecoming. it doesn't matter what you say...it's just that act that counts more and might even count against you. did obama malign kanye west by saying he's a jackass for what he did? what if it's his opinion (like how kanye also has opinions)and what if he believes that to be true. he didn't interrupt his interviewer because he felt the world had to know that kanye west is a jackass...if he needed to do that then maybe he should have sent a statement to the press. anyways i'm sure obama was sitting there watching the vma's like how many people were sunday evening...not likely. no. lol. the point is that obama should have said what he said…maybe not with that word but it’s no different than what people have been saying (not that it’s excusable to curse, but i do it so i don’t really give a fuck). it was OFF THE RECORD. it was a CONVERSATION. yeah it came back to bite him but no one really cares about this because the interview which is actually what he was there for DIDN’T CENTER AROUND KANYE WEST OR THE VMA’S OR TAYLOR SWIFT. it didn’t center around something as irrelevant as an awards show (even if civility is an important aspect of society)but probably on matters that MATTER. fuck. just because all people care about is smut and gossip and what other people think and all this bullshit surface talk, doesn’t mean that obama shouldn’t have said it. the fact is he already did. and it was taped (unknown to him. that’s first amateur mistake), so what really are you going to do about it. i don’t disagree with kanye or the president, or 50 cent for that matter (lol. violence musn’t be condoned but it sure was funny to see him lay it all out there that he would like to pop kanye one time one day somewhere…and it was interesting to see all the young kids laughing…although some of them were thinking is he really serious). kanye west can get on the stage and say that taylor swift shouldn’t have won and beyonce is better and whatever crap he said but obama can’t really say what he thinks about what happened in a conversation before an intervie?

http://www.missinfo.tv/?p=6660#comment-107672 no. i can actually ask that question and put it out there and wait for kanye to prove me right or wrong. he can be "drunk" which i think is not quite accurate with someone like him, because the other incidents he's also had he wasn't on the sauce. kanye west has a problem and unbenownst to him, or as much as he would like to make it seem like he's aware of his problem and he's embraced his faults and isn't as ignorant as he comes off, the truth is that kanye west is exactly as he comes off. he's the kind of person who can't resist the temptation. he can't just turn himself off and become another version of kanye west because he's too much himself. like he is deeply deeply rooted in kanye west. he is kanye west. lives in a kanye west world yadda yadda yadda. i'm not trying to psychoanalyze him but i always thought this dude was mad funny trying to get into the production game, writing songs, because i think one of the things he's always wanted in the world is to be taken seriously and to reach some kind of status/platform. he has it now. he's not so indifferent than many people, including myself and i can say that you know all humans can aspire to do the same things kanye west did by persevering and embracing creativity and hard work...but this arrogance is amazing. this is just my perspective on him and what he chooses to show the world. sometimes i just want to ask can the real kanye west (or insert any other person's name) please stand up...but i think my friend's musings on kanye as a person is right. i don't think kanye west can be any different. it's like he doesn't know how, or that if he does he's no longer at that place in his life where he recognized his old self. i don't know. the man is interesting to observe. i don't think it was a race issue and i'm putting bets on the next time he fucks up, because yeah he's that exact type of person. i don't disagree with what he said. i disagree with how he said it and went about his actions. yeah he ruined a moment for me that had me going from laughing to shocked to shaking my head and all the above, but that's just because i mean i feel a righteous urge to do what is right and be inspiring and leave a footprint on the world and all that stuff, but i don't what do you call it impose myself on others or force situations because one of the understandings i have from living in this world and participating in the community of being, is that everyone has their own opinions, right or wrong, but it would be wrong of me to think that it's my right to impart my thoughts on others. that's one of the problems i have with this whole social media networking platforms and this era, but i keep it to myself until it comes up in a discussion about said topic and is relevant. i have thoughts too. i'm not big like kanye nor do i have his platform or his level of ego, but if i thought that I WAS ALWAYS RIGHT AND I SHOULD TELL EVERYONE ALL MY THOUGHTS JUST BECAUSE I HAVE TO OR BECAUSE I AM SO PASSIONATE AND DON'T KNOW HOW TO CONTROL MYSELF, if i thought I WAS ALWAYS SPEAKING OUT ON ISSUES FOR THOSE WHO HAVE NO VOICE BECAUSE ONCE AGAIN I'M THE ONLY ONE WHO CAN BE RIGHT ABOUT SOMETHING, not only would my mom be praying for my soul and making sure i was going to confession and doing a lot of religious crap, not only would my mother do as she does everyday and tell me to try and understand every single person in this world, have patience and keep my talking to a minimum (because i talk a lot sometimes), she would smack me and i would be put in check. if i ever become so ignorant on that level, i hope somone can step in and make me see the light because i would really hate to live my life with my head stuck so far up my ass that i don't see things in the full hd 360. i don't know who helps kanye get through things or talks to him, and i don't know what self checks kanye has, but if he doesn't have anything then he better consider them because this dude has "problems, problems" as he would sing it. if i was buying into consipracy theories, i would find it more interesting that out of all the awards show kanye has been to he's now done this twice at two mtv awards and to people not in his "genre", and to people who are not african american and so on. i asked that question because it doesn't have to be a limitless amount of kanye acting out incidents. 1 is enough. 2 is enough. it's funny how he gets away with a lot of shit. but i guess he's a "celebrity" so it's all gravey and water under the bridge and all that fuckery. civility has been dead for a long ass time and it's hilarious that we've had such good examples this summer. i mean i can't stand people and i can be a huge bitch...but i don't go around acting like an asshole either. it's one of the things i thank my mom and dad for. i may not be perfect but and for all my moral imbalances, i do have some sense of fucken commen decency. no. i can

IF nothing positive, then say nothing. His concern should not be about celebrities period. And unless you have been hiding under a rock our economy, health care and soldiers at war are more important topics than kanye. once again, he should not comment on frivolous matters but if so say something positive or not at all. Thats pretty simple. The point is Obama should not have said anything. IF nothing positive, then say nothing. His concern should not be about celebrities period.
